Famous quotes containing the words portable and, portable and/or games:

    “And now where e’re he strayes
    Among the Galilaean mountains,
    Or more unwelcome wayes,
    Hee’s follow’d by two faithfull fountaines,
    Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
    Portable and compendious Oceans.”
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    “Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
